Free Antioxidant Scanning
This new biomarker is now available FREE through the
Mandala Apothecary as part of the Pharmanex BioScan
Program.
Join us Sunday, March 4 from 10 AM – 4 PM to get your FREE
BioScan and consultation.
Are you consuming enough antioxidants in your diet? How do
you know?
Samples of G3, our new antioxidant “super juice”, will also
be available.
What are free radicals?
Everyone needs antioxidants to help prevent damage to their
body caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable
molecules that constantly attack the body from the outside
(caused by sunlight, pollution, stress, smoking,
electromagnetic radiation, chemicals in our environment,
etc.), and from the inside due to normal metabolism,
exercise and living. These unstable molecules - through a
self-perpetuating chain reaction - cause millions of new
free radicals that damage DNA in our proteins, cells,
tissues, and organs. They cause aging, degenerative
changes, inflammation and disease. They cut your lifespan
short, while reducing quality of life. Free radical
oxidation causes cut fruit to brown and metal to rust. A
similar process occurs in our bodies, slowly aging us from
within. In fact, every cell in our bodies receives around
70,000 free radical hits every day!
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants prevent damage by protecting the very
proteins, cells, tissues, and organs that are targeted by
free radicals. Antioxidants stabilize free radicals,
preventing or minimizing damage. Antioxidants have been
scientifically proven to prevent premature aging, prevent
heart disease, prevent a variety of cancers, prevent
blindness, and strengthen the immune system.
Antioxidants can’t be felt in the body. Unless they are
directly measured, we can live for years in a deficient
state without knowing we are unprotected – allowing our
bodies to age prematurely and chronic diseases to develop.
Remember, even if you do eat well, a supplement will
further boost your protection and provide consistent levels
of many protective nutrients not even available in your
local food sources. However, not all supplements are
created equal - and it’s easy to get confused. The question
then becomes - what multivitamin do I take - and how do I
know if it’s working in my body?
Fortunately, we now have the technology to measure whether
you need antioxidant supplementation - and if what you DO
take is getting absorbed.
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner provides a personalized,
scientifically validated measurement of how diet and
supplementation is protecting a person's cells and overall
nutritional health.
By simply placing the palm of your hand in front of a
low-energy, blue-light laser, within 2 minutes you will
have a reading of your carotenoid antioxidant level – which
reflects your body’s total antioxidant network protection.
The scanner measures carotenoid levels in human tissue at
the skin surface using optical signals.
